    Best Firmware for P3A

    I have been flying my Phantom 3 Advance for some time now without upgrading . Never had any trouble at all although I try to avoid flying over water. My advice is dont upgrade from whatever you have got. If it ain,t broke don,t fix it.

    Finally ordered my P4, Now which tablet/Ipad??

    I use a Samsung Tab A with an 8 inch screen. I think Android is the better system . Seems to be less hassle. I paid about $200.00 Aus. on EBay Brand new. Has 16gb,WiFi,Sim card, GPS,etc. Does the trick on my Ph.3 Advance.
